Pistoleer Archive

I hear alot of discussion, and I think I've found the "best" pistol in the game.

The Republic Blaster.

190-297dam, 2.2speed, AR 1, energy, 30% slice, 30% powerup on max damage

By far the best pistol I've ever seen on the Eclipse server. But heres the big problem. WE CANT USE IT! The dang certification for this gun is broken. Look at skill sheet under certs, oooh lookey there a republic blaster cert, equip blaster, "You cant use that because we havent fixed our game yet"

So theres something jeagan can look at pushing, getting us our republic blasters fixed. Maybe have the Certification put at a higher level, to insure tht people go into our trees, maybe at master stances and grips?

Sure the gun looks like some womans sexual aid with a handle, but it sounds pretty cool, and fires really neat looking blaster bolts. And look at those stats!, I havent seen any other guns to compete with stats like that on the Eclipse server, if anyone has, Send me an ingame tell, Felkeen.

Hey Bannon is the Republic balster a crafted weapon? or is it something you get from a faction requisition?... I haven't seen any on starsider...

At least one quest does give a republic blaster as a reward, but with crappy stats.

They can also be crafted, often with some very nice stats. This will be an instant favorite for a lot of people when they fix the cert.

To use the Blaster you have to be a Rebel Sergeant or Staff Sergeant, not sure which and not sure if you have to be overt.

Yes, odd that it can be crafted huh?

Funny, cause if you're running around using it, and using it WELL then people would pretty much know where your allegence lies right? Covert that is...

Wow, I didnt know it came from being overt rebel....I'm overt sergeant most of the time, and I'm pretty sure I was overt last time I tried to use this...I could be wrong...so maybe after I get my chest plate, I'll rank up to see if I can use it, thanks for the info.

You get the cert as a rebel at the rank of staff sergeant. Now, if you can actualy fire it, that is a different story. I am going to have one of my weaponsmiths that I am all chummy with try to make me a good one. If I can actualy use it, I will post a new thread about it.

The cert has nothing to do with being a Rebel staff sergent. I made a Rodian brawler and he had the certification upon birth, however like my main I'm sure that he can't actually use the gun. I'm pretty sure everyone has the cert listed though.

We have the republic blaster certification request in our issues post that we sent in last week, along with some other weapon I've neither seen or heard of (possibly someone got confused on the naming...oh well

republic blasters do energy damage, which IMO doesn't make them the best, but they certainly aren't a bad gun. I almost bought one the other day just in case...but who knows what will be done with them.

Accuracy looks too good to be true, a few have mentioned it's an error.

Aye - I ran that same test last week. I created a new character and he had the Republic Blaster cert at birth.

I was told you had to be human to use this. Guessing that was wrong of course now after reading the board here but it did come from a very reliable source.

Everyone has the republic blaster cert at birth. You can't use it unless you are a rebel staff sergeant though. Seriously. I asked my weaponcrafter and she gave me the scoop.

That's strange. None of the weapon crafters on my server know anything about having to be a Rebel Staff Sergant. They always list it as a broken certification.
